She specializes in the legal, economic, policy and educational issues relating to critical infrastructure protection, particularly information infrastructure. As an educator, Dion has broad international experience and pedagogical concentrations in security, law, and civil service.
Dion previously worked for the Faculty of Law at Stockholm University in Sweden, teaching in the Master of Law & IT program. She remains an active doctoral candidate at Stockholm University, with the working title for her dissertation being, “International Cyber Security Preparedness, Response, and Accountability: A ‘Critical Infrastructure Protection’ Approach to Assessing the Need for International Cyber Laws.”

Dion received her J.D. from George Mason University, where she was also a researcher and program director at the GMU Center for Infrastructure Protection and Homeland Security. During this time, she conducted research encompassing homeland security aspects of telecommunications and information technology, national security restrictions on foreign investment and on open government laws, identity theft and more.

She also participated as an academic member of the Education, Training, and Outreach Awareness Working Group of the DHS Office of Infrastructure Protection, where she led the effort that secured a contract with the Department of Homeland Security to improve the quality and quantity of critical infrastructure protection curricula within higher education.
